Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a bit of light virgin olive oil to caramelize the onions.

Add two onions to the skillet and cook until caramelized.

Shred the cooked chicken and place it in a bowl.

Add the caramelized onions to the bowl with the shredded chicken.

Scoop out the flesh from the avocado and add it to the bowl.

Crush some garlic and add it to the mixture.

Add lime juice for freshness and tanginess.

Add cheese to the mixture to help bind everything together.

Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste.

Add two big squirts of mayonnaise to the mixture and combine everything thoroughly.

Grab a tortilla and smear the filling mixture onto it, then place another tortilla on top.

Place the assembled quesadilla on the outdoor grill.

Cover the grill to create an oven effect and prevent burning while melting the cheese.

Cook until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is crispy, then remove from the grill.

Cut the quesadilla into pieces and serve.
